Yoenis Cespedes Destroys the 2013 Home Run Derby, Celebrates with Epic Bat Flip

Yoenis Cespedes was playing a different game at the 2013 Home Run Derby. His first-round session at the Derby was a clinic in deep-ball destruction, with Cespedes putting 17 balls over the outfield wall. After that, all that was left for the Oakland A’s power hitter to do was clean up whoever was left before him.

The mighty first-round barrage allowed Cespedes to coast through the second round before his showdown with Bryce Harper in the final.

Harper tried his best, popping some incredibly fast line drives over the outfield walls, but Cespedes would not be denied. The A’s slugger defeated Harper with his 32nd home run of the night. The hit was a 455-foot bomb to deep center field, and Cespedes celebrated with an incredibly B.A. bat flip.
